Localising R&D in Bukidnon, Philippines: Experiences of the World Agroforestry Centre with Landcare1 Introduction LOCALISING R&D IN BUKIDNON, PHILIPPINES: EXPERIENCES OF THE WORLD AGROFORESTRY CENTRE WITH LANDCARE1 Alexander U. Tabbada, Gerardo C. Boy and Lyndon J. Arbes2 INTRODUCTION The World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) has been part of the multi-sector effort to promote agroforestry in the Philippines, especially among upland swidden agriculturists and upland farmers. Upland farming communities represent the poorest of the poor in the rural sector and, lacking in voice, they are largely marginalized from the mainstreams of society. These conditions exist in the municipality of Lantapan in the mountainous province of Bukidnon, one of the three ICRAF research sites in the Philippines. The upland ecosystem of Lantapan represents similar upland situations in the Philippines and large parts of Southeast Asia. An old growth forest remains in the uppermost slopes while the rest of the landscape is a “mosaic” of Imperata- dominated grassland occasioned by intensive to extensive upland agriculture by both indigenous communities and migrant farmers. The forest cover of Lantapan is part of the Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park known for its rich biodiversity. It forms part of the headwater of the upper Manupali River, which supports a major irrigation system and feeds into a large hydropower facility that services major parts of the Mindanao Island. ICRAF’s presence in Lantapan started with its active involvement in USAID’s Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM-CRSP) in 1992. ICRAF played major role in R&D effort to better understand the dynamics of the upland systems in the Philippines, represented by Lantapan, as it provided leadership in the participatory development of improved agroforestry systems. ICRAF saw the vast potentials of Lantapan for agrofrestry-based R&D and established its Lantapan Research Site in 1994, its second research site in the country. In 1999, ICRAF scaled up a localised R&D strategy through Landcare. This paper describes the experiences and observations of the authors in their involvement in landcare in Lantapan and other municipalities. 1 Paper presented during the International Workshop on Improving R&D Outcomes in Rural and Regional Agricultural Systems held on 16-18 October 2002 at Riverglenn Conference Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 2 Natural Resource Management Research Officer and Site Coordinator, Provincial Landcare Facilitator, and Municipal Landcare Facilitator, respectively, of the World Agroforestry Centre, ICRAF- Lantapan Research Site, Lantapan, Bukidnon, Philippines. 2 Beginning of Landcare in the Philippines Landcare is an organised, community-based and multi-sector approach to a rapid and inexpensive adoption of conservation farming and agroforestry practices among upland farmers. In the Philippines, it began in 1996 at the sloping agricultural municipality of Claveria, Misamis Oriental. With the support of ICRAF, 25 farmers organised themselves in order to provide farmer-led mechanisms to solve pressing problems on soil and water conservation. Landcare has significantly moved and organised communities towards conservation farming practices such as contour farming, natural vegetative filter strips (NVS), enriched NVS and agroforestry. As its membership grew from 25 to over 3000, Landcare formalised and strengthened partnerships among the local government, people’s organisations, and R&D agencies in Claveria. Scaling-up ICRAF-Lantapan facilitated the spread of landcare from Claveria to Lantapan and other parts of Bukidnon in 1999, through the projects “Enhancing Farmer Adoption of Simple Conservation Practices: Landcare in the Philippines and Australia” and “Enhancing Farmer Adoption of Conservation Farming and Agroforestry Practices Through Farmer-Driven Knowledge-Sharing Institutions in the Philippines,” funded by Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECI), respectively. Scaling-up started in Lantapan then extended to the municipality of Manolo Fortich and to the nearby city of Malaybalay, both in Bukidnon province. Project objectives Landcare implores on voluntary and participatory community-based mechanism towards environment and agricultural sustainability. Its impact is measured in terms of biophysical (adoption of technologies and their effects on the landscape) and social (social capital formation among farmers to plan and initiate activities using indigenous knowledge and skills) aspects. Landcare as R&D intervention aims to: 1. Facilitate the formation of Landcare groups; 2. Through Landcare groups, disseminate appropriate and practicable knowledge and practices on agroforestry to improve food and nutritional security 3. Develop marketing strategies for agroforestry farm products; 4. Mainstream landcare into the realm of local governance; 5. Evaluate the relevance of the landcare approach as an extension model to link communities, government and technologists; 6. Evaluate the impact of landcare approach on the adoption of practices that reduce resource degradation; the predicted impact of the improved conservation practices on alleviating resource degradation; and 3 7. Empower communities to lead farmer research and knowledge sharing, livelihood and environment protection activities . Expected outcomes & outputs targeted As an R&D activity, landcare is expected to yield the following outcomes and outputs: 1. Organised Landcare groups at the sub-village, village and municipal levels 2. Widespread dissemination and adoption of soil and water conservation practices, agroforestry or integrated faming systems 3. Local Natural Resource Management Development Plan (NRMDP) and enacted policies and legislations in support to Landcare 4. Mainstreaming landcare approach in the extension services of the Municipal/City Agriculture Office. 5. Market link for agroforestry farm products; 6. Farmer conducting research and leading knowledge sharing, livelihood and environment protection activities Key Players and Partners Landcare is a triadic collaboration process among its key players, namely: Landcare groups (farmers, women, students, professionals, business sector, civic groups, etc.), technical facilitators (ICRAF, government instrumentalities, University researchers, NGOs, etc.), and Local Government Units (municipal and provincial). 1. Landcare groups These are concerned citizens who organized themselves and commit to learn and share their skills, experiences and resources with other individuals and groups. They form workgroups that promote and implement sustainable agricultural technologies and influence government’s decisions on land use and natural resource management. 2. Local governments The Local Government Units (LGUs) consist of local executives and legislators who sponsor and recommend mainstreaming of appropriate programs for soil and water conservation, agroforestry, and watershed protection, from the hamlet to the provincial levels. They make decisions on land use and resource management, enact supportive laws and policies and allocate financial support for natural resource conservation activities. 4 Local governments also provide support to capacity building of Landcare organisations, facilitators and agricultural technicians. 3. Technical facilitators These are research and development agencies that develop and/or disseminate basket of appropriate technologies on soil and water conservation, tree nursery and agroforestry. ICRAF leads on-site technology testing and dissemination through various information, education and communication (IEC) channels. It facilitates awareness building and community organising and networking for landcare. 5 Landcare Groups: 1. Encourage communities to organise for landcare; 2. Participate in community diagnosis and plan local actions to address soil and resource degradation problems; 3. Promote knowledge sharing in the organisation, as well as learn from other farmers; 4. Participate in community action to conserve and restore soil fertility by controlling soil erosion and using practical, environment-friendly technology for sustained farm productivity; 5. Commit to promote agroforestry and explore marketing strategies for its products; and 6. Sustain and widen partnerships for Landcare Landcare Groups Local Government Technical Units (LGUs) Facilitators The LGU provides: Technical Facilitators: 1. Policy support to the insti- 1.

  • The Indigenous Peoples of Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park
    Case study The Indigenous Peoples of Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park Ma. Easterluna Luz S. Canoy and Vellorimo J. Suminguit Ancestral home The Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park (MKRNP) in north- central Mindanao is home to three non-Christian and non- Muslim indigenous groups who refer to themselves as Talaandigs, Higaonons and Bukidnons. These indigenous inhabitants are known collectively as Bukidnon, a Bisayan word for “people from the mountain,” and they share a common culture and a common language, the Binukid. According to Talaandig tradition, most of Bukidnon was the land of the Talaandig, the people of the slopes (andig). When the coastal dwellers moved to the uplands, the Talaandig referred to them as “Higaonon” because the latter came from down the shore (higa). The Higaonon claim that their ancestors were coastal dwellers and were the original inhabitants of Misamis Oriental. However, the arrival of the dumagat (people from over the sea) during the Spanish times encouraged the natives to move up to the plateaus or uplands, which now belong mostly to Bukidnon province. The Higaonon today occupy communities north of Malaybalay down to the province of Misamis Oriental, while Talaandigs live in communities south of Malaybalay, around Lantapan and Talakag (Suminguit et al. 2001). According to tradition, as recounted in an epic tale called the olaging (a story chanted or narrated for hours), a common ancestor and powerful datu (chieftain) named Agbibilin sired four sons who became the ancestors of the present-day Manobo, Talaandig, Maranao, and Maguindanao. Tribal legend has it that Agbibilin named the mountain Kitanglad, from tanglad (lemon grass), a medicinal plant that was associated with the visible portion of the peak left when the mountain was almost submerged during the Great Deluge.
